year under the commandership Of John
Murphy, and now numbers about 700.
Its revenue comes from the dues of its
Enthusiastically five cents per month
and an initiation fee Of one dollar.
Many poor ard needy families have
been ministered unto, and the funeral
expenses OF several old soldiers have
been borne by the Camp.
The Camp originated in the idea thai
It was pleasant for old soldiers Of both
sides during the late war to meet to-

for the systematic amelioration OF the
unfortunate condition Of some OF the

How to Be Happy, Though Single
TCassell'S Magazine. ]

IA writer gives some good reason
for single existence without dispara9-
ing the marriage relation. ED.
We lately wrote a book which has
been most favorably received, called,
GLOW to BE Happy, Though Married."
but we think that quite as much might
he said on the possibility Of single
blessednesS. Thousands of women,
and even men, cannot marry for one
reason or another. Let them cultivate
the Ccntentcd state of mind of that
old Scotch lady who said, 81 wadna
gle my single life for a the double
anes | ever saw
People may admire the marriage
state, and yet have their own good
reasons for not entering it. Under
the dying pillow OF Washington Irving
there Was found lock of hair and
miniature. Who will say that man
or woman ought to marry who treas
ares up SuCh memorials, and thinks Of
all that might have been.
Impecuniosity is another reason for
denying ones self the luxury of a wife.
\ mistake may, of course, he made as
to the amount of money neCe.Tary for
marriage. There are those who could
drive 4 coach and-two, but waiting
for a Coachand four, they are carried
into the desolation Of confirmed baChel-
orism. That man, however, is much
to be piticd who leads a pure life and
whose 81 can't afford it, is no mere
excuse. Let him continue to work
and economic, and before very long
he will have
"A guardian angel DER his life presiding,
Doubling his pleasures, and his cares
dividing
To this angel he should lie true in
anticipation, remembering how Corne-
liza, mother of the GraCchi, advised her
unmarried sons to keep themselves
pure, SO that all the blessings of viz
tuous home might one day be theirs.
What is one mans meat may be an
other mans poison. To some persons
we might say. eff you marry you do
well, but if you marry not you do bet
ter" In the case Of others, marriages
may have decidedly the advantage.
Like most other things, marriage is
good or bad according to the use or
abuse we make of it. The applause
that is usually given to persons on en-
tcrln9 the matrimonial stage is, to say
the least, premature. Let us wait to
see how they play their part.
And here we must protest against
the foolish and cowardly ridiculc that
Is sometimes bestowed upon elderly
men and women who, using the liber-
~ of free country, have abstained
from marrying. Certainly some of
them could give reasons for spending
their lives outside the temple of Hymer
that are far more honorable than the
motives which induced their fool-de-
tractors to rush in. Some have never
found the other selves, or circumstan
!ces prevented the junction of these
selves. And, which is more honor
able, life of loneliness OF a loveless
marriage? There are others who have
laid down their hopes of welded bliss
for the sake of father. mother, sister
or brother. In such cases celibacv is
an honorable, and may be praise
worthy state.

4 Happy Home.

A happy home is the brightest spot
on earth that the eye Of God looks
down on. Love and peace in his
home send a sunshine round a MN
wherever he goes; but disorder and
trouble bring misery every where
| There are few worries Of life which a
| man cannot now and then shake OFT,
| bit who can shake himself free from
| the skeleton in the closet, from the
worry in the household, and the bis
ter On the heart? A day will tell how
many a man carried with him
without wincin9 down to the grave
When husband and wife are bel p-mates
to each other in the best sense, when
order and love and goodness rcva'l
in the house. then the man who his
hard battle in life to fight can leave
his struggles behind him when he
enters there With all our faults, we are
the most homc-loving Of people and
that is the reason why we are the
greatest Of people Whoever helps
home-life is a national blessing, what
ever hurts home-llfe is national curse,
and the greatest curse that can touch
blessings is what would tampcr with the
peace and DlesseJness of our homes.
1t is in the family life that
mans piety gets tested. Let the hus-
band be cross and surlv, giving a snap
here and cuff there, and see how out
of sorts everything gets? The wife
grows cold and unamiable too. Both
are turned on a key. They vibrate in
unison, give tone rising in harmo-
ny or discord tos ether. The children
grow up saucy and savage as young
bears.
The father becomes callous, peevish,
hard, kind Of two legged brute with
clothes on. They develop unnatural
growth and sharpness of teeth; and
the house, is haunted by ugllness and
domestic brawlS.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disor,!ercd live,
is misery. indigestion is foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one OF
the most complicated and wonderful things
IN existence. 1t i, easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dy>peptics.
Bat Green ; August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people So
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.
Remember No happineas without
health. But Green's August Flower brings
health and happiness to the dysp. ptic.

A Point Well Made.
ICL2rl0tte Chronicle. I

A short time ago the announcements
was made that Bob Ingersoll had made
up his mind not to again say anything
against the Christian religion. The re-
port now turns ont to be without a
foundation. He is the same hlasphe-
nous IngeTsoll. His recent tribute to
Mr.. Beccher was iull of eloquent ut
tcrances, but amid the dazzling beauty
Of their construction were many in
suits to the Christian world. The
matter is 50 uniquely handled by the
Kansas City Times that it is worthy
of reproduction in every paper in
the land. The Times says:
Macaulay relates how all the good
fairies came to bless Byron as he lay
asleep one day in his cradle. One
brought him great personal beauty,
one wealth, one powerful intellect,
by AGonis Finally, and after all
these benehcent fairies had taken a
last look at the sleeping cherub and
departed, deformed and malignant
fairy came next and withered one of
his legs to the knee. 1t emDittered
his whole life, and no doubt fastened
the end while his years as 50 many
suns were yet shining upon the eastern
hill! tops.
\ perfect paraphrase is furnished
in the literary character of Ingersoll.
He says wonderfully beautiful things.
Some of his sentences are clear cut as
canoes. Some as phosphorescent as
the sea IN the tropics. Some spun
gold. Some as luminous as the west
with the sun setting in it. Some liq-
uidly transparent as waterfall leap
ing from a rock. Some a string OF
precious stones, the CLINT of the
diamond pervading all and domina-
ting all but the good fairies finally sc
and the bad one comes, and with hcl
also comes blasphemy.

The New City Hall.

The Building Committee OF the City
Council yesterday recommended that
Clerk Teed advertise for bids for the
building of the new City Hall, and
that the bids be made returnable to
the Council in four weeks. The plans
for the new building were adopted
some time ago, and the Architect has
been busy ever since in preparing
working drawings. Last week the
City Surveyor surveyed the ground
for the necessary excavations, and
now everything is in readiness to
commence the building. In order to
be sure that there will be bids, it was
decided to advertise in San Francisco
papers, from which it is expected
some return will be made. From ap-
pearances, the new $3.50, 900 City Hall
will be commenced before winter sets
in, and some provision will be made
for the city officers, who, at present,
are considerably scattered.
